rvalkass 5 Report post Posted February 27, 2006 A simple way to find out if it's the drive, cables etc. is to use someone elses PC. Take your cables and drives out of your PC and get a friend to put them into theirs. If they work, it's your motherboard or power supply, but if they don't its the cable or drives. Try swapping the cables to another one and see if that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zdrigui 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2006 KUBI,The best you can make to check it the problem is HW or Software relatede is try to boot yout unit thru the Windows xp cd.... If unit boots means that the DVDRW unit is working fine and the problem is some software you?ve installed. If during boot unit don?t read it could be DVDRW failure.You can also try to change the IDE channels from the HDD to the DVDRW,if unit don?t boot after you maded this change it could be two problems:first IDE channel that its damaged,second could be only a IDE cable problem.update me on this okregs, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
